I’m a podcast producer and editor with 25 years in audio, the last seven focused on podcast editing and production. I run long-form interview shows end to end, from dialogue editing and mixing through final delivery.
I’ve engineered award-winning shows for network clients including Nasdaq and HarperCollins and edit video with Final Cut Pro, focusing on clear dialogue, voice quality, and a collaborative, friendly approach with remote contributors.
